Traditional Residence Halls
Kratz, Miller, Yoder and Coffman halls are available to single students of any classification who are younger than 25 years of age. Each hall is coed, with men and women on different floors.

Check out these tips for equipping your dorm room.
Kratz and Miller Residence Halls
Rooms in Kratz and Miller Residence Halls overlook a pleasant courtyard where students can study or enjoy a latte from Java Junction, the student-run coffee shop. Furniture in Kratz and Miller is fully stackable, enabling residents to arrange their room in any number of crazy and creative ways.
Most rooms are double rooms, but there are a few singles, triples and quads. Men and women live on different floors. Double rooms average 17′ 6″ in length (includes closet space) and 10′ 9″ in width. The rooms are air conditioned. Laundry, kitchens, lounges and recreation facilities are located in the Kratz-Miller-Yoder Connector (built in 2004).
Kratz Hall was named in honor of Clayton Kratz, a Goshen College senior in the 1920s who disappeared while he was serving as a Mennonite relief worker in war-torn Russia.
Yoder Residence Hall
Yoder overlooks a recreation field where students spend the warmer months tossing Frisbees or playing soccer. Each of Yoder’s spacious rooms has a large window and wide windowsill where residents can lounge and enjoy the beautiful sunsets. The largest residence hall on campus, Yoder Hall provides space for nearly 200 students, with men and women on different floors. Laundry, kitchens, lounges and recreation facilities are located in the Kratz-Miller-Yoder Connector. Double room dimensions average 15′ x 12′, and there are a number of pieces of built-in furniture for easy moving in. Yoder Hall is located closest to the Recreation-Fitness Center, just beyond the campus tennis courts and sand volleyball courts.
Coffman Hall – Junior/Senior floors
Coffman is a coed facility with men and women on different floors, in single rooms. This facility is designed to offer increased independence with the convenience of a central on-campus location. The rooms are air conditioned. A laundry room is located in the basement. Two kitchens and lounges are on every floor. To be eligible, students must have graduated from high school at least two years prior to the first day of classes to live on Coffman 3 and 4.
